In Juhu one evening Harikesa and Saurabha got to talking about Prabhupada’s plans for the Mayapur project. Harikesa, appreciating Prabhupada’s genius—how, from Mayapur, God-centered cities with temples, educational institutions, and proper social organization would spread around the globe—became so excited that he ran all the way from the construction office to Prabhupada’s apartment. He bounded up the stairs and, without even knocking, burst into Prabhupada’s room and threw himself on the floor and paid full dandavats.

Prabhupada was in the middle of eating a sandesa and a puri. He looked at Harikesa with big eyes, then went back to eating.

“Srila Prabhupada!” Harikesa exclaimed, “You’re a genius!”

Prabhupada looked up and said, “Oh?”

“Your plans for taking over the world. This is wonderful, this is fantastic—how you’ve made this plan for Mayapur and everything is so perfectly arranged.” Harikesa went on and on.

Prabhupada smiled and said, “Thank you very much.” Then he said, “Come here.” He broke the sandesa he was eating in half, gave Harikesa one half and the rest of his puri, and, still smiling, said, “Thank you very much.”
